Microsoft’s Surface Hub Is a ‘Hit’, Demand Outstrips Supply

Microsoft said on Thursday that it has sold over 500 units of the Surface Hubs, a number that apparently “exceeded” the company’s initial forecasts. In a statement to Microsoft-centric blog Petri, the company said: “Demand for Surface Hubs is very strong and exceeded initial forecasts. To date, we’ve shipped to over 500 customers worldwide and that number continues to grow. We are ramping up production to meet this strong demand via our partner reseller channel as soon as possible. Customers are encouraged to speak with their sales representative if interested in ordering Surface Hubs.” For a refresh, the Surface Hub is a giant all-in-one Windows 10 computer which retails at a starting price point of $8,999 for the 55-inch model, and goes all the way up to $21,999 for the 84-inch model.
